@milesJ I guess my point would be that you don't need that overhead of setting that extra var in every circumstance, so it may just be better to call Configure:: from the view. And just so I understand, what would be the difference between business logic and templating logic? Are you saying that views should only have stuff in them relating to the layout? I have been using a broader definition where anything localized to that action goes in the view, such as looping through set data, extracting things from variables etc. Anything like grabbing records or handshaking would be in the controller, but does Configure:: really qualify as something that should never go in a view? If you needed to read the config on every page I would put in into AppController::beforeFilter as you suggested, but for a one shot deal I would just call from the view statically.
